We are just a few short hours from the season finale of Shadowhunters. It’s crazy that just a year ago, we were getting news of the show and the casting info started to roll in not long after. Each episode has made us delve much deeper into the realm of the Nephilim than the big screen adaptation counterpart, and fans are loving that we have had this second chance to see Cassandra Clare’s works come to life.

At the heart of the show is a fiery red-head, Clary Fray, who is determined to learn more of her family’s secrets and protect those she loves from her evil father, Valentine Morgenstern, all the while trying to balance a somewhat complicated love life and become a badass Shadowhunter. Katherine McNamara, or Kat for short, landed the role of Clary last year and has proven herself to fans in this first season of the Freeform rookie show. I had a chance to get to know more about Kat in a recent interview, talk about what this show has meant to her and find out some fun facts about the her life on set.
